Found in May 1960 in a flooding zone on the left bank of the river Sesia during the mining of a bank of gravel, at a depth of 4 m. Due to the good condition of the stela and inscription and the weight of ca. half a tonne, Lejeune 1988: 26 assumes that it was not, as the find place might suggest, transported any great distance by the river, but that it may have been buried in situ by a collapse of the river bank, possibly as recently as during the building of the nearby railway bridge. The campus referred to in the inscription would thus have been situated opposite the city of Vercellae, which lies on the right bank of the river. Kept initially in private possession, the stela was given to the Museo Camillo Leone in 1967.
